As a player maybe the onus is on you not to put your LC and HC in such a position. Leave a bigger than 1UD gap or alternatively have them actually touching or make it obvious (perhaps by stating it al ...

You don't need to declare all the targets for a charge. The only prerequisite is that one unit in the group can contact an enemy. There is nothing there that states you have to declare all targets etc ...

From the FAQ

"The most threatening enemy unit is, in following order of priority: 
The nearest one who’s ZoC covers part of the units front edge, 
The nearest one who’s ...

2) Only if the LC are obliged to exit the ZoC to their own rear in which case they won't be permitted to exit the ZoC. This is because they would not be "capable of evading."

Conforming after melee is compulsory for impetuous units but restrictions on contact (presumably moving within a ZOC) ...
